About the Department
Under general supervision, the scorekeeper's primary responsibility is to accurately record a game's score. Each time a team scores one or more points, the scorekeeper must post the updated score on the scoreboard or in the official scorebook. If a referee disqualifies a goal or imposes a point penalty, the scorekeeper must adjust the team scores in accordance with the official's decision. The scorekeeper will either be responsible for recording in the official scorebook or controlling the official scoreboard. Before a game begins, a scorekeeper helps to prepare the facility for the game. He cleans and sets up equipment, including the scoreboard, and tests the equipment to make sure everything is working properly. After all games are complete, the scorekeeper helps to put equipment back in storage. If an emergency were to take place during a game, the scorekeeper must be knowledgeable about emergency rules and procedures and provide instructions to the crowd.
